I tried getting AccExplorer32 from this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd631969.aspx and many others, but it says that Page cannot be found. Can someone please upload it somewhere, I'll appreciate it.

EDIT:

AccExplorer32 is not included in the current SDK (7.1). It's replaced with UISpy, which is also not included in 7.1. But you can download it from here: http://andrewtokeley.net/archive/2009/09/15/uispy-ndash-download-it-here.aspx (broken link)

    It's obsolete, I think UISpy.exe is its replacement. Included with the full SDK, not the one that comes with Visual Studio. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms727247.aspx – Hans Passant Jan 30 '11 at 06:11
  • Now MS wants us to use these: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd373661.aspx – c00000fd Oct 25 '16 at 09:46

As you say, UISpy.exe is not in the v7.1 SDK. It has been replaced by Inspect.exe which is in the v7.1 SDK Tools, works very well, and does both MSAA and UIA.

More details on Inspect is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318521(v=vs.85).aspx

  • Yup; the new version of inspect includes a treeview pane in addition to the object properties pane, so it effectively functions as a replacement for both UISpy (which was UIA only) and AccExplorer32 (MSAA only). – BrendanMcK Oct 06 '11 at 22:02

Here is a forum with a valid link that might solve your problem:

AccExplorer32.exe

I had great difficulty in finding this tool (among others from MS used for accessibility testing), so I have uploaded a copy to my GitHub repo.

  1. Accessibility tools
  2. AccExplorer32.exe
  3. inspect32.exe

I am working on a legacy project where the newer tools like Accessibility insights are not that helpful. The older tools were focused more towards MSAA (Microsoft Active accessibility), while newer tools are focused more towards Microsoft UI Automation.
